yogaloft (3)

Finally able to schedule my time to visit yogaloft at Plaza Kelana Jaya, PJ this morning. However, a bit disappointed as the outlet has nothing much to view as mainly is under renovation. Only one studio is ready for classes. Anyway, Sean is very helpful in briefing the package and brought me to visit the whole outlet although it is in a mess. He tried his best to describe, so I have to try to visualise and imagine it. Should be nice when it is ready.

According to him, it will be ready and officially launch in Jan 2009. So, just wait for it and to visit again when it is fully renovated. Below are some information and guide to the place as there is no banner leading to their studio yet. I have to ask around to reach the destination.

Google Map showing the location of Plaza Kelana Jaya
Please click on the above map to enlarge it for easy viewing

From LDP-Puchong highway, you will pass by "Western Digital" on your left and no far later you will see a football field and "PKNS" on left as well. Please keep to the left lane and be ready to turn left once you see a small sign board states Plaza Kelana Jaya. You will see some shoplots before the junction.


Once you have turned left, the right side is a nice garden and the left side is Plaza Kelana Jaya. There is a big sign "PLAZA Kelana Jaya" as shown in the photo below, turn left and this is "Jalan SS 7/13A" which leading to the car park of Plaza Kelana Jaya.















The main entrance is at first floor. So, you may walk up through the staircase next to a restaurant named "Rumahku". Once you reached the first floor, you may see a new building under construction next to Plaza Kelana Jaya on your left (as shown in the photo). Turn right and you will see the yogaloft big logo placed outside their shop (refer to the photos below).


















This is the main entrance view where you can see a very nice yogaloft words placed in front of their shop.














This is the reception. You will see it once you enter from the main entrance. It is at first floor of the shop and the only ready studio for classes now is located at this floor.















There are four indoor studios where only one is ready for classes now while the other three are still under renovation. According to them, they are planning to have an outdoor studio. If not mistaken, I read about this outdoor studio in their earlier webpage.

The only ready studio is nice and facing to the lake view. All the studios are located at first and second floors while the ground floor are the shower and changing place (not ready yet as it is still under renovation and in the dark, no light at all and can't see anything).

The biggest studio facing the lake view and the flooring is white colour. There is another small studio for Yin and Meditation classes.
There is also a Hot Yoga studio with heaters. The flooring is brown colour and it is different from the other 3 studios' flooring. Anyway, it is still under renovation.

[NOTE: Modified on 2nd Dec 2008 @ 2:00pm and the photos of the studios are removed as it is still under renovation. Might re-post it in future when it is ready, if there is an opportunity. Anyway, apologise for any inconvenience caused to you and if you wish to view it, you may actually pay a visit personally. A brief roadmap and guide are provided above. THANK YOU ^_^ Yogalover]

The 3-storey shop is facing the lake and here have few snapshots taken outside the studio (it is a back view).




























~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Package

I hope I can remember the whole package and some important points that really need to take note as they disallowed me to have the brief copy of the package. I'm not as lucky as some friends here that have some powerpoint slide show to view. Anyway, I'm not to disclose any of their material as no brochure nor leaflet been given, so just can share as much as I know and what I can remember. For further detail, then you have to visit them personally...

RM128 (1 month prepayment, will be offset the last month fee when termination happened)
RM200 (Refundable Deposit)
RM100 (Yearly Administration Fee)
RM50 (I-Card)
---------
RM478 (Total) + Optional RM1 (for a mat which worth RM199)
=====

Note:
- First time enrolment charge is at a total of RM478 and plus another RM1 for a Yoga Mat worth RM199. For those practitioners that yet to have a mat, be reminded to take this RM1 offered mat if you decided to sign up as their stutios don't provide any mat.

- Basic monthly fee is RM128 but it is only valid for a maximum of 10 hours. Additional hour will be charged @ RM10 per hour. Please note that certain classes would be 1 and a half hours.

- They told that their concept is similar to Maxis and touch&go where deposit is needed and total bill will be sent to the members by end of the month based on the total usage such as total hours of classes attended, other facilities used and other consumption. Payment can be made by cash, cheque or credit card.

- Early Bird will enjoy FREE unlimited classes for the month of Dec 2008 as their outlet is not fully in operation. Besides, members will also enjoy RM100 credit limit in their Deposit account.

- Please take note on the purpose of this "Refundable Deposit". The deposited amount allow your I-Card to swipe freely on whatever charges beside the RM128 monthly basic package. Once you exit the limit, the I-Card would not allow any transaction and you have to pay by cash or credit card on that particular transaction. Sounds complicated. Okay, example:

If you are an regular practitioner have attended 35 hours classes and have a credit of RM50 for any of the facilities, and you wish to attend another class but your I-Card would not get the transaction thru successfully as your credit limit is hitted (similar to our Credit Card Limit).

Reason: Your Deposit of RM300 (RM200 paid by you upon registration and RM100 credit limit given by yogaloft for Early Bird members). First 10 hours classes @ RM128, additional 25 hours classes @ RM250 plus RM50 usage on facilities. Once you have settled your total bill of RM428 (RM128 + RM300) by end of the month, then your Deposit amount resume at RM300 again.

This Deposit is like our Credit Card limit and you may top up the Deposit amount to more than RM200 as required if you think you may have heavy consumption there.

Hope the explanation above is clear...

what happens to all those who have paid RM 479 or RM 607 - any compensation from Yogaloft HQ office for cancelling classes in Dec??

what has the teachers have to say about this. kamal, felix, penny etc...

such nonsense...

Anonymous said...

Geez,havent even officially opened, already so much drama.If renovation not completed then dont open and ask members to sign up first la.Never heard of such business strategy, in the midst of renovation "open doors" to ask members to sign up, then "close doors" again to continue renovation!What is tis???

Anonymous said...

yes- this is a con company- con the consultants/staffs of their Nov salary, all contractors terminated and no renovation going on at Yogaloft now

Members who have paid were called and given an option for a refund or hold their deposit until Jan - what a scam!
